Corrected entry: If John Carter is able to jump higher and be stronger due to the weaker gravity of Mars, then why is he able to breathe? Low gravity means less atmosphere.
John Carter (2012)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Andrew Stanton
Starring: Willem Dafoe, Samantha Morton, Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins
Factual error: John Carter, while gold prospecting in 1868, is arrested by members of the 7th Cavalry, with the intention of employing him to fight the Apache in the Arizona and New Mexico Territories. Unfortunately, in 1868, the 7th was otherwise employed in Kansas and Indian Territory forcing the Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Comanche tribes back on their reservations.
Tars Tarkas: You are ugly, but you are beautiful. And you fight like a Thark!

Correction: This is a fictional Mars, inhabited by at least two highly technological races, the Red Martians and the Therns, and thus it is not unreasonable to assume that the technology exists to maintain the atmosphere in a state breathable by the inhabitants. The Barsoom stories, on which the film is based, include references to atmosphere plants, city-sized mechanisms to do exactly that. While these are not mentioned in the film, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, it can be assumed that the plants are indeed present and functional.
